Matter of: Crown Point Systems File: B-413940; B-413940.2 Date: January 11, 2017 William A. Shook, Esq., The Law Offices of William A. Shook PLLC, for the protester. Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., Thompson Coburn LLP, for the intervenor. Eric D. Flores, Esq., Ana F. Smith, Esq., Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, for the agency. Michael Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency's price evaluation failed to reasonably assess the risk of awardee's understated pricing is denied where the solicitation did not provide for a price realism evaluation and the agency reasonably assessed the risk of unbalanced pricing with respect to the awardee's proposal as contemplated by the solicitation. Allegations of material misrepresentations by awardee are denied where the record does not establish that any statements in awardee's proposal were false. DECISION Crown Point Systems (CPS) of San Diego, CA, protests the award of an indefinite- delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to CounterTrade Products, Inc. (CTPI), of Arvada, CO, under solicitation No. N66001 -R-0001, issued by the Department of the Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Command, for electronics and information technology items. The protester challenges the award on the basis that the agency's unbalanced pricing analysis and evaluation of one of the technical evaluation factors were unreasonable, and that the awardee made material misrepresentations in its proposal. We deny the protest.
